CURRENT RESEARCH:<\/strong>
\nMy doctoral project understands the \u201cmillennial novel\u201d as a major contemporary literary form that emerges from the correlation between pursuing a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Creative Writing and publishing a literary debut with one of the major commercial publishing houses referred to as the \u201cBig Five\u201d: Penguin Random House, Hachette, Harper Collins, Simon & Schuster, and Macmillan. I argue that the millennial generation of published authors, those born between 1981 and 1996, have set a new standard for higher- education  credentials in the literary marketplace. My research reveals how this new standard compounds existing systemic barriers in publishing for aspiring authors, by exacerbating both the university\u2019s and publishing industry\u2019s structural propensity to discriminate based on race, economic status, and\/or sexual identity. The millennial novel emerges from within the growing conditions of precarity that come with pursuing a literary career in the US, and it reproduces and reaffirms the connection between formal creative writing training and literary publishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
